Couples who truly care for each other show little acts of love in the cutest way.

This man, working in a toy store, welcomed a family of a husband, wife, and three kids.

While the kids were shopping for toys, the husband secretly purchased something for his wife.

Then it was the wife’s turn to do something sweet.

Read the story below to see how one thoughtful moment turned into a perfect match.

“Don’t let my wife see.”

I work in a small, locally owned toy shop in a little college town.

However, we have a lot of down-to-earth people and families.

A couple comes in with three kids, and immediately, the kids go crazy. They want to show their parents every single toy in the store.

The store has a card rack for all kinds of cards.

It’s a small store, but is broken into three distinct sections with rooms connected by walkways.

We have a card rack next to the cash wrap that has all sorts of cards.

This man rang up the Star Wars card that the husband secretly bought.

As the wife is being dragged by her kids around the store, the husband comes up to me.

He quietly goes, “Don’t let my wife see. We are big Star Wars fans,” and slides me this card and cash to pay for it.

I quietly make small talk with him about the weather and ring him up.

I finish just in time as his wife and kids walk around.

The wife also purchased a Star Wars card discreetly.

Then, the grab their dad to go beg and ask for toys.

I’m chatting with the mom.

She sees a card on the card rack and says:

“This would be perfect for [husband], but don’t let him see this,” and slides me cash, finishes the transaction and winks.

They didn’t know they bought the exact same card for each other.

It’s the exact same card.

They finish their shopping and purchase a few toys for their three kids.

They walk out, both chuckling to themselves about how clever they are.
